The East

The East were formed in Athens, Greece in 2014. Their sound ranges from typical rock’n’roll forms to traditional rhythms as well as intrusive synths and samples, that all alternate continuously between rhythmic exacerbation and pauses, generating a different mood each time. Repetitive patterns and vocals that impose an atmosphere rather than narrate a story, contribute in producing a deafening sound that is sometimes euphoric and sometimes asphyxiating. In October 2014, they released their debut 10″ vinyl double A-side single “Slo Mo / Tripoli” with six dogs records. In 2016, they released their first EP, titled Battles.
